Wednesday was S*A*M N*I*G*H*T! What is S*A*M N*I*G*H*T? S*A*M is Murderball in the dark with glow sticks and glow in the dark balls. NOW it is also Handball with glow sticks and glow in the dark balls! If we added Extreme Bulldog we could call it the S*A*M Trifecta!(mmmm.....maybe next time!)
Like I have said before S*A*M is optically trippy. It is almost as much fun to watch as it is to play!
J-man played S*A*M for the first time this week and he gave it TWO thumbs up! We played three games of Murderball. My team losing all three! We were never very close, but who cares, we were playing S*A*M ! Next we played Handball for the first time! It took a little while to get going, but once our eyes adjusted, Handball was a ton of fun! Problem was, we ended with the same result as Murderball! My team got beat up. All in all, a good trial run for S*A*M Handball!
This week in Bible study we looked at the story found in 1 Samuel 28:3-25 and 1 Samuel 31:1-6.
This story is about Saul and the witch of Endor.
Saul becomes very afraid because the Philistines were about to attack Israel. Saul tries to ask God for help but because Saul has disobeyed God, he will not answer him. What does Saul do next?
1 Samuel 28:7 Saul then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her.”
In the past Saul had expelled the mediums and spiritists. Now he consults a medium!
We need to be careful to follow God's plan for our lives or we may find ourselves doing the very things we were fighting against!
Saul has the witch call up the prophet Samuel from the dead for him. Samuel tells Saul that the Israelite army will be defeated and that he (Saul) is going to die.
1 Samuel 28:19 The Lord will hand over both Israel and you to the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The Lord will also hand over the army of Israel to the Philistines.”
Question is, if Saul and his sons were going to join Samuel, where was Samuel? These next two passages will give us a clue.
Matthew 12:38-40 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you.” He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Ephesians 4:8-10 “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.”(Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)
Samuel was in Hades, which was and still is in the heart of the earth with all of the dead from the past. There were two compartments. One compartment was were the saved saints were waiting for Christ to pay for their sin. The other compartment was and still is full of the unsaved. This compartment was and still is a place of torment. When Jesus died and then rose from the dead for our sins he carried all the saints to Heaven with him! Now when we die we get to go straight to heaven to be with our Saviour!(If we have accepted his precious gift!) (For more info check out Luke 16:19-31)
We have been waiting for the Sergeant to get his first Helmet of the season and this week GeRRald would not be denied! Congrats GeRRald! Is this the first of many Helmets for GeRRald? I think GeRRald has a few more in him!
Almost forgot to mention that we had P*I*Z*Z*A sandwiches this week! So good!
